Matanzas Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Sonoma County, California, United StatesBig black pepper, spicy, barnyard, cassis, blackberry aromas with a touch of wax and prune. Rich and somewhat tannic, has big ripe cassis jam, blackberry, vanilla, spicy pepper flavours. Quite elegant and round and balanced but lacks a bit in the mid-palate. Will improve over the next five years.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
